I had always heard good things about this film but I didn't watch it for the first time until 2019. Of course I've seen many of Kathy Bates performances but this particular one is outstanding. Beyond the acting; Stephen King really hit the nail on the head with this thrilling story. It's got a great blend of humor/dark humor, drama and mystery. It's a very emotional tale through and through with some chilling moments. The story is told through a traditional non-linear-Stephen King-fashion, similar to some of his other great adaptions. I did not expect the narration either and it was very well used. The cinematography in this film is incredible- something I didn't think I would find with this movie. Lastly to tie things up, the musical score is superb! I cannot wait to watch this movie again.
